 My recovery was great. Minimal pain and I was ready to get walking. The most pain I had was from the pain pump but it wasn't working right, after it came out i felt a lot better. The only complication I had was I dehydrated because I was only getting 17oz of fluid in . Remember Walk , walk and walk and sip sip sip and you will do fine.

Dr. Nain performed my VSG last Weds, but I mostly saw Dr. Halmi in the hospital. I love Blue Point they are all helpful when I go and so easy to work with!

I am a patient of Dr. Moazzez as well. What a wonderful caring doctor he is. The staff was great also.
I am post op now 6 years, I lost a total of 115 pounds, RNY. I had no complications to mention, and in the past 3 months I have  lost another 10 pounds.
We still have that tool that was given to us to use. Many people believe that after the first year being the honeymoon period, that losing becomes very hard. We just have to keep fighting and believe in ourselves.

Good luck to all,
Donut

I'm new here on the forums and have my first appointment with Bluepoint in Stafford on Friday the 9th.  I have all my paperwork done, and I've gotten the initial insurance inquiry done as well.  I'm hoping to get a quick reply, but who knows!

 Hey there. I also had Dr. Halmi last year. May 11, 2011 I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Have lost 132# so far. I live in Stafford and work in Manassas. Any one want to get together for lunch? Shari
